Beatles Revolver 1966 1st Press UK Mono vinyl mix 11 606-1 side B, 1/1 mothers
First pressing, August 5, 1966. Remix 11 mispressing. Side 2 matrix no.: XEX 606-1 have Remix 11 of Tomorrow Never Knows . When Revolver was initially mixed a different master for Tomorrow Never Knows was sent off to be pressed. This mix is known as Remix 11 . Although subtle, it is different to the standard Remix 8 which was ultimately to replace it. The story goes that each group member was given the first copies from the production line and John went to listen to it. But, it turned out that he was unhappy with the mix or that the wrong one had been used and he informed George Martin. Production was then stopped as the new masters were cut and the pressing plates were replaced. First presses have a side 2 matrix number of XEX 606-1 whereas the standard presses have XEX 606-2 and beyond.

The sleeve is in great order, clean flip backs, very little creasing , no writing or dirty marks - please view all photos
Inner sleeve is plain, very good, no rips , a little discoloured
Labels have a fair bit of wear right at centre hole , some light scratches - obviously been played a lot
A few light marks on the vinyl , they are surface scuffs and light lines, no deep scratches and nothing that seriously interferes with the playing - see photos
It plays well. There is a bit of crackle right at the start of both sides, and the runout at the ends, this fades to very light occasional noise through playback , only really noticeable in quiet bits and faint - it is a very good listen overall
A rare example of a very, very early release given the withdrawn matrix code and mother/stamper indicators that still plays to a very good standard
